July is just about over and that means it’s almost time to
go back to school! The early mornings, the commutes, and the tighter schedule
are all about to return and you need to be ready. But, so does your Orlando
Toyota vehicle! Heading back to school, whether you’re taking your kids, or you
have classes to attend, can be a strain on your vehicle. If you haven’t kept up
with routine maintenance over the summer, then it might be time to start
thinking about having your vehicle taken in to be inspected. To make sure your
car can pass the test Toyota of Orlando is here with a checklist of things to have
looked at before you head back to school this month!
Our back to school checklist
1) Make sure your oil is changed and your tires rotated.
Keeping your oil up to date and your tires rotated will save you time and potential headaches during this school year. Between the back and forth driving, your tires wear down and your oil expires faster. If you’re strapped for time and can’t come to Toyota of Orlando for an inspection, you can always do one yourself! To check your oil, simply find and remove the dipstick, run it through a paper towel, and look at the color. To assess the condition of your tires, use a quarter to gauge the thickness of the tread.

2) Pay attention to your dashboard.
Your dashboard tells you almost everything you need to know if there’s something wrong with your Orlando Toyota vehicle. If you’ve been ignoring a check engine or a low tire pressure light, it’s time to stop! Going back to school means you’ll be strapped for time and without those repairs done, they’ll only get worse. Our auto service techs at Toyota of Orlando can check your check engine light and make the repairs you need to get you rocking those back to school commutes.
3) Prepare your car.
Jumper cables, an inflated spare tire, a tire pressure gauge, and a first aid kit are just a few things you should always have at the ready in your Orlando Toyota vehicle. You never know if you’ll need to change a tire or need a jump on your way to school and having these available could turn a bad situation into a small bump in the road.
4) Detail your car before heading back to school.
Trying to keep your car cleaned on top of dealing with the worries and stresses of going back to school will be a challenge. Before your first day, make sure to detail the interior and exterior of your vehicle. Having a clean car will not only make you feel better when driving, but it’ll make it easier to stay organized and find things quickly throughout the school year!
